[Net King] The Star of the Palm

Lin.

Lin Xinglan and Lin's mother, Lin's father, sat around the table, Lin Xinglan's face was calm.

Mother Lin spread out a table of nail polish and was making nail polish for herself. The pungent smell spread, and she didn't notice it.Lin Xinglan frowned, took away the tool in Mother Lin's hand and threw it aside: "How many times have I told you that nail polish is bad for your health, don't put it on!"

Mother Lin turned her head nonchalantly: "If you don't paint, don't paint."

From the moment Papa Lin entered the door, he never took his eyes off Lin Xinglan's face.He looks exactly the same as the photo in Mother Lin's wallet, and he can still recognize the arrogance and handsomeness of his youth, but there are more years of weather, and the fatigue between his brows is more than free and easy.

Lin Xinglan felt uncomfortable when he saw him, and said calmly, "Is this gentleman coming to our house for something?"

Papa Lin's face froze: "Xinglan..."

Lin Xinglan interrupted him coldly: "This gentleman and I haven't gotten to know each other well enough to be called by name, please call me by my full name, thank you."

Papa Lin froze completely and glanced at Mama Lin.

Mother Lin pretended not to notice, and said to Lin Xinglan, "Xinglan, I didn't tell you that he is your irresponsible father, maybe you already knew it. He even chased after France when he came to Japan this time." , is for your business, he wants to get back your custody rights, and wants to take you back to China. Thanks to his 'sincerity', I decided to leave the choice to you."

Seeing Lin Xinglan froze, Lin's father immediately said: "Xinglan, I know that I have been sorry to you and your mother these years, I will pick you up and take good care of you. Your grandfather has always liked you very much. It is a pity that you are not here with him. We grew up next to each other, our family..."

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Lin Xinglan interrupted him suddenly, "Where's your ex-girlfriend? It's the woman who abandoned my mother for her sake."

Papa Lin thought she minded the stepmother's affairs, so he said, "We've been divorced for a long time."

"why?"

Father Lin hesitated for a moment: "The relationship was not good. Back then... I married her after I left your mother, and then I was kicked out of the house by your grandfather. After marriage, it has not been very smooth, and there are many grievances, so we divorced .”

After hearing this, Lin Xinglan suddenly let out a low laugh, stood up abruptly, and looked at him coldly: "You deserve it!"

Papa Lin was taken aback: "What?"

"I said you deserve it!" Lin Xinglan said coldly, "You are not thin-skinned. You actually have the face to say these things to our family. Who is your family! I have a good relationship with grandpa, and I have nothing to do with you. Relationship! You are a fickle and ungrateful person who abandoned his wife for your so-called true love. Now you are licking your face and begging for forgiveness. Who can forgive you! I tell you, I will not forgive you, I dare not Say forever, but let me tell you, in the past ten years, 20 years, or even 30 years, you are delusional that I will forgive you!"

Papa Lin's face paled instantly.

It is said that poor people must have something to hate. Father Lin looks pitiful now, but if you think about what he did to Mother Lin more than ten years ago, it can only be said to be retribution.

Papa Lin left the Lin family alone, and Mama Lin stood at the window watching his back as he left alone.

Lin Xinglan sat at the table the whole time, and asked after a while: "Did you forgive him?"

Mother Lin's expression was indifferent, noncommittal, she just said: "Mom is soft-hearted, but not stupid."

Lin Xinglan smiled slightly: "Yes, we are not fools, we are not so easy to be fooled, why should we only pay the price."

Life continued to proceed smoothly and orderly. Since he left that day, Father Lin has not come to harass the Lin family's mother and daughter for more than half a month. Lin Xinglan and Mother Lin are happy and quiet.

Lin Xinglan has been in constant contact with Tezuka Kunimitsu. During this period, Qingxue successfully won the semi-finals and semi-finals of the Kanto Competition.On the day of the finals, the longest rain since the beginning of summer ushered in, and the game was forced to be suspended and postponed for a week.Coach Ryuzaki decided to bring the tennis team to the pre-match training camp. This time, Lin Xinglan was not asked to help find a place to sleep together. She had a friend who had a villa in the Karuizawa mountain area, so she went there to sleep together.

Lin Xinglan didn't go to the joint camp in Karuizawa. She asked for a long vacation with the school in the name of the shared camp, and took a long vacation with Coach Ryuzaki on the grounds of "menstrual period", and accompanied Lin's mother back to her former residence in Osaka.

Mother Lin's mood was fairly stable after she came back, but Lin Xinglan was still worried.

Arriving in Osaka, Lin Xinglan saw Mother Lin standing in front of the cherry tree in front of her house for a long while, crying and laughing alone, muttering to herself: "Remember, the first time we met was under this cherry tree. We What's the use of meeting each other since I was so young? Childhood sweethearts are nothing, not as good as your true love girlfriend who killed halfway. I hate you, and I hate myself even more. You left me 15 years to resent you, but I found out Your love is far stronger than hate. How could I fall in love with a person like you? I still can't forget you..."

Lin Xinglan silently turned and entered the room.

Memories are like a net, the more you struggle, the tighter you get.Even though so many years have passed, Mother Lin occasionally still seems to be living in the past, unable to find a way to the present.

Before putting away the sad emotions, the call came in, and as soon as it was connected, Kikumaru's lively voice said: "Xinglan Xinglan, this year's camp is not fun at all, I miss last year so much!"

Lin Xinglan was speechless: "That's because there were a lot of sightseeing and traveling last year!"

Kikumaru Eiji's voice was aggrieved: "Although there are delicious curries, people still prefer to eat Xinglan's Chinese cuisine."

curry?Lin Xinglan had a flash of inspiration that he could make potato curry tonight, and while taking the potatoes, he said, "There is nothing to complain about, you just went to the training camp. The training camp is to suffer and suffer, understand? Train well, and when you come back, you can play well. Fuck off, I will reward you with a table of Chinese cuisine."

Eiji Kikumaru pouted: "Minister Yamato came over today, but he spent most of the time with the little one, and Minister Yamato asked about you, so it's a pity that Xinglan didn't come over."

Lin Xinglan smiled: "No matter how much you tempt me, I won't go there. I have more contacts with Minister Yamato than you. Minister Yamato sent me a text message to tell me about this before he went to Karuizawa, so hurry up and wash it off." Go to sleep, you won't be tired after a day of training."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Eiji Kikumaru to talk nonsense, he hung up the phone first.

Lin Xinglan did not make it to the finals of the Kanto Competition, but it was Shuichiro Oishi who sent her a text message to tell her.If Lin's mother hadn't realized that her daughter was still a student and had to go to class, I'm afraid the two of them would still be in Osaka now.

But when Lin Xinglan returned to class, he realized something was wrong.

The students gathered together in twos and threes, not knowing what to say in detail, and when they saw her coming in, they immediately silenced, and looked at her from time to time, with weird eyes.

Lin Xinglan doesn't like the feeling of being watched, and is very sensitive to other people's strange eyes.

Eiji Kikumaru hesitated to speak, but before he could speak, the teacher had already come in to announce the class, so he could only keep his words in his stomach.

This situation continued until after school in the afternoon.

As soon as the school bell rang, Kikumaru Eiji wanted to come up to talk, but was held back by Fujisuke, who invited her with a smile: "Let's go to the club together." Before Lin Xinglan could answer, she heard a crisp voice next to her But an arrogant female voice: "Lin Xinglan!"

Lin Xinglan turned his head and saw that it was a trio of bad girls who were well-known in the class.Lin Xinglan was not very popular in the class, she was not autistic or ostentatious, and basically she could speak well, but she almost never communicated with these three girls. Most of the classmates in the class had no communication with them, and the leader seemed to have the last name... Asahina.

So he asked calmly, "What's the matter, Asahina-san."

Asahina looked her up and down: "I heard that you fight very badly. You have been fighting with people from kindergarten to elementary school, and you never get along well with others, right?"

These words brought back the darkest memories of her childhood, Lin Xinglan clenched her hands unconsciously: "I don't know what you're talking about?"

The liveliness here has attracted many onlookers who have not yet left.

Asahina snorted and rolled his eyes: "Can I ask Mr. Lin for a favor?"

Lin Xinglan looked at her indifferently: "Say."

"You..." Asahina approached her, slamming each word, "Can you get out of our class?"

Seeing that Lin Xinglan didn't speak, Asahina laughed arrogantly: "With you like this, how could you fight? There are rumors in the class how you fight and how fierce you are. You have a mother but no father, and your family education is not good. I've seen it earlier. You are not pleasing to the eye, you smile lightly all day long, and you have that expression on everyone, who wants to look at you!"

Eiji Kikumaru disagreed: "What nonsense are you talking about, how did Xinglan offend you!"

Fuji Zhousuke had a cold look on his face.

Lin Xinglan was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Asahina, don't you want to know if I will fight?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xinglan's fist had already ruthlessly greeted Asahina's face.After all, Asahina was a bad girl, so she immediately counterattacked and grabbed Lin Xinglan's hair.Lin Xinglan had fought a lot, and knew the way between the girls extremely well, so he dodged and slapped Asahina hard on the face with a clear and crisp slap.

Stars flashed in Asahina's eyes, and blood dripped from his nose.Before she could react, Lin Xinglan's slaps were already hitting her face like raindrops.

Lin Xinglan's eyes were cold and stern, and she slapped Asahina on the face without hesitation: "I have a mother but no father, and I have no tutor, what's the matter! It's none of your business, you are nothing, with this kind of tone Talk to me, I'm an uneducated bastard who teaches you how to be well-bred, what is a lesson. Let your mouth be full of dung! Let your dog's mouth not be able to spit out ivory!"

But her cold eyes gradually filled with water vapor.
